A male passenger is heard intervening telling Nickel, “they can speak any language they want. It is Canada.”

Nickel has since told Global News that the video did not show what happened before she spoke. According to Nickel, the two Asian women had been arguing and bullying another passenger in English before switching to their native language.

The two Asian women allegedly told another passenger to leave the bus because her perfume was too strong.

“It looked like she was being traumatised and didn’t know what to do,” Nickel said.

Although Nickel could not understand what the women were saying in their language, she assumed they were talking about the other passenger because of the way they stared at her.

“Me being racist, yeah, I agree, I apologize for saying some words and I can’t go back on it,” she said.

Randy Keeping, who recorded and uploaded the footage said he did not know what started the altercation but what he saw was racism.

Nickel has said she has been concerned about her safety since the video was uploaded.
